The Woodward Dream Cruise is a dream for car buffs, But for many who live in the area, this weekend is anything but. Our readers took to Freep.com and Facebook to tell us all about it:

Iím all for the actual Dream Cruise day, which is Saturday. Iím not even opposed to them kicking it off on Friday evening and it ending Sunday. But for everybody that lives and/or works on Woodward, it is disrespectful to clog up traffic during rush-hour just because youíre retired or donít have to work.

I live one block off Woodward and LOVE it. I work a half day on Saturday, too. Do I complain? NO. I leave for work early and enjoy the slow cruise back down Woodward on the way home, taking in all the sights along the way.

Iím implementing the same Woodward Nightmare Cruise survival plan this year that I have every year: Iím getting the hell out of town and avoiding this overgrown testosterone festival completely.
